Everytime I look up the listings for Eurosport UK.
Eurosport 2 HD was not broadcasting any live sports for 11 months outside Tennis rights.

IIRC before they had any mainstream sports there was tractor pulling, truck trialing, drag racing and Icelandic 4x4.

At one time it was the sports channel offered by Sky and was FTA. Sky Sports only came into existence after Sky effectively took over BSB.

Cycling (world tours, including Tour de France, Giro, Vuelta, one-day classics, and cyclo cross), winter sports, motorcycle racing (World Superbike, British Superbike, occasionally American and Australian Superbike), 24hrs of Le Mans, various other car racing, Dakar Rally, tennis, snooker. And probably a few more sports I’ve forgotten.
